Question:
Choose ONE of the following comparative prompts based on the play Antigone by Sophocles and Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez:
Antigone & Angela: Keeping in mind the respective societies and cultures these two young women lived in, use your comparison to argue which of the two women most upheld a sense of honor, the toll it took on them, and why you think so. (Also clarify how you're defining the idea of "honor" in this case.)
The Chorus & the Community: Using the comparative method, argue which of these two groups - both as witnesses and active participants - had the most influence on the events of each tragedy, and support why you think so.
Kreon & the Pura Vicario (Angela's mother): One is the leader of a city, the other a family. Compare / contrast their actions, attitudes, and decisions related to these roles, and in the process argue, in your opinion, whether they were justified, or not.
Antigone & Santiago Nasar: Both are doomed protagonists from different cultures and eras. By comparing and contrasting, argue the extent to which their fates were inescapable or whether their demises could have been averted, in your opinion, and support those conclusions.
